Craft beer has enjoyed a massive resurgence in recent years and Bristol has been at the forefront of it, with plenty of bars opening in the city which specialise in the stuff, not to mention the various festivals celebrating it.

Whether you like it or not, pints of traditional lager are more increasingly being replaced by two thirds-sized glasses of something a little more unusual in many bars, and the trend appears to be spreading to nearby towns.

Weston-super-Mare's first micropub has recently opened to the public, taking over the former Garment shop on High Street, making it is the first place in the town people can buy find draught craft ale, according to owner Claire Howe.

Speaking to Somerset Live before the opening, she said: "We'll be the first pub in Weston to serve draught craft ale, again, focusing on quality, not price, top quality local cider, including 'keeved' cider, a wide choice of artisan gin and rum, and a decent red and white wine, as well as the obvious soft drinks.

"We're keen to promote local cheeses, too, so we'll be having a cheese board, and possibly some tapas stuff, as well as standard pub snacks, and homemade pickled (spicy and VERY spicy) onions."
